Oh. My. God. (spoilers below)
I take back everything I ever said Alan Cumming playing Nightcrawler. He was awesome. Superb. Spectactular. I have no words. I have liked him in the roles I've seen, but I just didn't think he could do justice to Kurt. I. Was. So. Wrong.
This was just a plain awesome flick. As good as the first, slightly better perhaps. Everyone gets some screen time. Colossus was done perfectly. They didn't get the same Kitty back, but I loved her run-through-everything scenes.
I told Lou that I want to see it again, at the first show tomorrow. Oh why oh why did I not take Anne up on her offer for the midnight show?!?! waaaah!
New Pyro, but he was pretty good. I loved what they're doing with Bobby and Rogue, and of course Xavier and Magneto. You really get a sense of just how powerful Xavier is.
And of course, they're doing the Phoenix storyline, which is just awesome.
I loved that Rebecca Romijn-Stamos got a chance to show up without her makeup! Squee!
Kelly Hu/Lady Deathstrike was pretty much Darth Maul in this. No real lines, lots of fights. But it worked.
Loved to see Wolverine let loose.
Methos was in it! Peter Wingfield! Alas, playing a soldier, but it was just so neat and wierd to see him in it. Was not expecting that.
Gaah, so much to love in this movie! I just have one thing to say:
GO SEE IT!
I will be going at 12:30 tomorrow.
